Note:  In March 2025 … St. Augustine leaders decide to cut Nights of Lights by 8 days to ease holiday traffic. If you Google that sentence you will see the video of News4Jax discussing this. The City of St Augustine plans to do this cut for one year only as they measure the outcome of accessibility and safety. Residents say it’s too long, too much congestion but business owners want it to stay as is since shortening this tourist time will impact their businesses. Originally the City Commission recommended 20 days vs the now compromise to shortening by eight days. New dates are November 15, 2025 – January 11, 2026. (This past season dates were 11/23 – 1/26.)

St. Johns County commissioners agreed to chip in $850,000 (this is an extra $650,000) toward St. Augustine’s annual Nights of Lights this year, more than half a million more than the county provided last year. Aiming to make traffic run more smoothly … more shuttles and other ideas to make the event a good one for all; residents, locals and tourists.
